Summary Introduction
To review:
The optical arrangement of a compound microscope.
Introduction:
A microscope is an instrument that is used to enhance the resolution of objects that are not resolved by naked eyes. There are various types of microscopes depending on their resolution power and the methodology of magnification. The resolving power of a microscope depends on the quality, curvature, and the number of lenses used. A compound microscope is designed to improve the magnification and resolution process with the help of more than one lens.
